[@alicechow5843]

been working as a nurse on nights for 7 years! its takes time but most important thing is BUILD A ROUTINE, always have healthy snacks on hand, water while working. Use blackout curtains if you need too as they can also help with falling asleep. It'll be hard at first, but you'll be fine :)

[@Hwaniiee]

Omg 7 years night shift is amazing!! I think what yo said about building a routine is actually such a story advice for me cuz I’m a guy that relies on pattern and consistency!! So def will be following night routine now 💖🥹 thanks for being so open and supportive ❤

[@alicechow5843]

@@Hwaniiee no worries! And yes, building a routine will take time. But once you do, you’ll have consistency as I’ve been able to do that on nights till today. I’m also one that needs consistency as well so that’s understandable. You’ll have some nights where there’s going to be ups & downs but you’ll learn from them and improve over time! If you need any tips or tricks for night shift, just shoot a message and I’ll help in anyway I can! :)

[@oblivionade]

hello there! can I ask if you can choose your days of work in a week such as 3 days 12 hour shifts? I'm a student nurse and still deciding if nursing is for me lol

[@alicechow5843]

@@oblivionade i work full time so i had applied to the night shift line 8hr shifts as I work in long term care so 12hrs are an optional and same with wanting to work 16hrs shifts is an option. If you do rotational, then you’ll have a chance to work 3 days 12hrs or nights. The choice is up to you

[@oblivionade]

@@alicechow5843 alright thank you!

[@nuraazva2225]

My mom is a nurse since the last 29 years. Showed her this video . She wished you the best ❤️ and that don't feel guilty for your time off . Take care of yourself, only then can you take care of others ❤️❤️

[@Hwaniiee]

Awwww you showed your mom 🥹🥹 tell her that’s so sweet of her to say and will def take her advice to take it easier ❤

[@smoke0783]

as someone that started night shift security about a year+ ago, whats important is sticking to the routine and sticking to the time you need to do things. its gonna be tempting to stay up because you're gonna wanna be social and do things but nightshift requires a lot of sacrifice. find a time that works best for you to sleep but also still have a balance of things you want to do as well. for your first time doing the night shift (or anybody reading this for that matter) my best advice to get adjusted is the day of your first work day, take a nap hours prior to your start time. once you wake up, you'll feel either refreshed or tired but awake, and then go on about your night. if need be def get a celsius/energy drink that can keep you up for the first few days then after a few days you should be fine. its not healthy, but I can switch between third and another shift whenever now good luck people!

[@Hwaniiee]

Hahaha I def agree with you on the celcius🥹🥹 hopefully I don’t get addicted to caffeine from this tho😅 but truly the balance part you mentioned is key especially with such a hefty and odd schedule that can throw my circadian rhythm off🥲 but thank you for being so open and insightful 💖💖 will def use these

[@smoke0783]

@@Hwaniiee i was not expecting a reply i’m lowkey fangirling rn but you got this bro!!! your circadian rhythm is going to be off but you’ll get used to the new schedule in no time. can’t wait to see what you’ll do in the future!!

[@procrastinatingotaku]

As a med-surg nurse that’s been on nights for almost 2 years, my advice is to have a routine on your days off whether or not you swap back to a day shift sleep schedule or just keep the same routine as you would working. Make sure you meal prep for your 3 shifts in a row. Also, in your first year of nursing, Do NOT pick up extra shifts even if you feel like you can. It’ll help prevent burnout in the long run. The first year of nursing is the hardest because you’re learning on the job so make sure you take as much time off as you can to recharge. Leave work at work and enjoy your life outside the hospital. Good luck!

[@Hwaniiee]

Omggg not picking up extra shifts is hugeeee! Esp cuz I got overwhelmed pretty easy so the goal is to make it as sustainable as possible!! So I will 100% take your advice on that!! 💖💖 thank you for being so insightful too🥹

[@kerryjung479]

how refreshing to see someone being so transparent about these early steps in career pathways- big picture, your grades dont matter, its all about how you make the most of each opportunity. Also love how you're open to sharing your journey as you manage the 'boring' responsibilities in life. you've got a great mindset and outlook on life, what a healthy inspiration for young people. go you! it's exciting to be part of your journey :) you'll be going places!

[@Hwaniiee]

[@colleenm9188]

Congratulations, Kai! How wonderful. So happy for you. You're not just an ambassador for Fabletics, you're fabulous and will become a Legend. This, I am sure of. Your grades were solid in the end. You learned a lot about yourself during the process and were great enough to share it with all of us. The best thing... you have the biggest smile, now that you have passed that nursing certification test. That loan of $145K+ ... yikes. Just keep working at it. Don't default. Don't skip payments. Just pay a little more than the interest and chip away at it. OMG! You've added a new family member! Makes me want two kitties, also... Good luck with interviews and all!💕

[@Hwaniiee]

Hahaha I love how you said yikes on the loans😂😂 but yes yes I do just gotta keep at it and maybe pay a little more hehe❤😂 and I’m honestly so touched you said legend 🥹💖 that is very kind of you to say I’ll def work harder now that I got a pocketful of motivation from you hehe❤

KAI BROTHA, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! I love your positive attitude towards life. If trials come your way, even though you may be feeling completely defeated, you always remind yourself to push through by finding new strategies and approaches to tackle it head-on. That's very inspiring and much needed among young adults, especially those transitioning from student life to work life. I hope for all the best on your first interview

[@Hwaniiee]

yesss i'm a struggler by nature adn that's how it's always been, and through this i realized failure is an inevitable process of life.. so the solution is pushing through regardless of this! and thank youuu for the interview wishes!! I'll keep you updated on the status of it all ❤️

[@queennina865]

Hi I love all of your videos specially, the aspects where you show your failures and your upbringing and it’s so soothing and help me realize that I’m not the only one that goes to struggles and sometimes you’ve got a look at the brighter side of things, and I really love your medical related videos because I also want to be a nurse, but a travel nurse and I hope that you do get that job and your videos are so inspirational that it pushes me just driving to better every day. Thank you.❤

First jobs after finishing school is probably the best, but also not the easiest because you'll be in the real world dealing with so much emotions. Especially on being a nurse, anywhere, will definitely be tough. But I'm sure you'll do great in any nurse job you'll get. Good luck and congrats on passing!

[@AlejandraXio]

Megatron is so cute!!!! btw the weakness question is a actually a low key way to flex your good qualities or growth mindset. For example, if you are bad at time management you can start off by saying, "I tend to loose track of time so in order to better manage it I do x, y and x. I learned this from the youtube channel Professor Heather Austin. She has a video series on interview questions I highly recommend to everyone!! Congrats on getting the job!!! I can't believe the days of watching you study hard have come to an end.

[@Hwaniiee]

Uwuuuu you’re right!! I shoulda use that trick for my weakness😂😂🥲 def better than what I said hahahaha but next time I get another interview I’ll use that professor’s way then hehe❤and it’s t that crazy that those study days are done… but may be not for long in the future hehe

Total honesty here, I've been nursing since 2008, and I've done 1 day of overnight. My body just didn't like it so I've always pushed for days. I'm currently a trauma nurse practitioner, and also work for an Urgent Care which I also only pushed for days. Once you do it, just see how your body adjusts. You might even like it better because you don’t have to deal with admin.
